2014 marks the 25th anniversary of the Much Music Video Awards...and the night was as eventful as ever.

First we will see worst moments

First worst-Marianas Trench arrives in bed

In previous years, Vancouver rockers Marianas Trench have arrived at the MMVAs in plastic bubbles, as mermen, and in a hot tub.This year, they chose to show up at Toronto’s biggest block party with lingerie-wearing models having a pillow fight over them in bed while they laid back and ate Cinnamon Toast Crunch. We would have preferred to have the ninjas back.

Second Worst-Imagine Dragons performs “Demons” and “Radioactive” AGAIN

Imagine Dragons are a great band and “Radioactive” is a great song, but we are ready for them to share any of their other great tunes with us. We ask them to take a cue from Lorde and how she decided to showcase songs like “Tennis Court” and “Team” over the obvious choice of “Royals” at this year’s MMVAs.

Third worst-Worst:- Where were Kendall and Kylie Jenner?

The youngest stars of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” were hired to host this year’s MMVAs, but it felt like we saw them on the red carpet and only a few times during the awards show and that’s it. We love the MuchMusic VJs, however, it might have been nice to see more of the Jenner sisters.

4rth worst-Kendall and Kylie's attitude right from the beginning

Looks like all that Kardashian fame has gone to the youngest sisters heads. Kicking off the ceremony, Kendall and Kylie did what hosts are supposed to: hype up the crowd. Except, during their hype session, they remembered who they were, and asked for a round of applause for themselves in a less than subtle manner. You're not your sister yet, ladies.

Now we will see Best Moments

First Best moments- Lorde performs “Tennis Court” and “Team” with a lamp

We give Lorde major points for rocking out on the MMVA stage alone to her own tunes and singing live. We also thank her for not singing “Royals.” Her eggplant purple suit reminded us of British singer Billie’s wardrobe from the 1998 music video “Because We Want To,” but in a good way.

Second Best: Ed Sheeran delivers food on the red carpet

Singer Ed Sheeran arrived at the 2014 MMVAs in a Mr. Tasty Fries truck and handed out yummy treats to fans. No doubt a few members of the crowd who were waiting all day were pretty excited to see him.

Third Best: Imagine Dragons win an MMVA and sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to guitarist Wayne Sermon live on stage

Las Vegas rock band Imagine Dragons won the MMVA for International Video of the Year – Group and during their acceptance speech, frontman Dan Reynolds led the crowd in a round of “Happy Birthday” for their guitarist Wayne Sermon. That’s quite the birthday gift.

Third best-Best: Kendall Jenner makes fun of herself

During her opening monologue with her sister co-host Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner pretended to mix up her cue cards making reference to her Billboard Music Awards teleprompter mistake resulting in her on stage remark, “Guys I’m the worst reader.”

4rth best-Jena Malone hands out doughnuts to the crowd

Turns out Jena Malone is a sweetheart bearing sweets for fans. The Hunger Games star caused quite a ruckus when she appeared on stage to present an award, followed by MMVA volunteers carrying boxes upon boxes of doughnuts. Hey, when standing outside in the heat for hours on end, it's important to stay full.

In the USA, UK and Canada - Fathers' Day is celebrated on the 3rd Sunday in June since being made a national holiday in 1966. In Australia and New Zealand, fathers are honored the first Sunday in September. Other countries celebrate fathers throughout the year. This year father day is on. Sunday, June 19, 2014.

History of Father Day

The origin of Father’s Day actually dates back to the early twentieth century. The original idea was to be able to honor all the single dads, the same way all of the mothers were being honored with Mother's Day. The overall tradition has been said to originate from Spokane Washington by a young

lady by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd. She was sitting in church listening to a sermon dedicated to Mother’s Day when she thought of the great idea. This young lady was actually raised by her father, who was a veteran of the Civil War, after her mother had passed while giving birth to their sixth child. She began to think about all that her father had done for her and the family over the years and realized how special to her that her father really was.Even through all of the hardships and doubts he was able to raise all the children by himself. She also came to realize that he was actually a very dedicated, generous, and loving man that had never asked for anything in return. Because of the fact that her dad's birthday was actually in June Mrs. Dodd decided to hold the very first Father’s Day June 19, 1910.

However, it was originally intended for June fifth, which was her father's actual birthday but, she did not have enough time to prepare the festivities. There are other people in the US that actually credit Mrs. Charles Clayton of West Virginia and not Mrs. Dodd for the idea of Father’s day. However, even today most history books still give the credit to Mrs. Dodd.

Today Father’s Day is celebrated with gifts and maybe even a special dinner out. However, in the beginning of Father’s Day it was honored by wearing flowers. In Mrs. Dodds case she choose to wear red flowers while her father was living but, when he passed she decided on a white flower to honor his death. In 1926 a committee was created in New York to honor Father’s day. In 1956 it became recognized as a day of celebration by a Joint Resolution Of Congress. In 1972 President Nixon had made Father’s Day a permanent national holiday. It was also during this time that it was decided that it continue to be celebrated every third Sunday in June. Father’s Day is a day to show all the dads out there how much you truly love and appreciate everything that they have done.Why not share the history of Father’s Day with your dad this year and carry on the tradition of wearing flowers in your dad's favorite color.
